CORE SERVICE
Smart Contract Development
Secure, gas-optimized smart contracts built by certified auditors for production-ready applications.
- Full Lifecycle Development: From specification and
OpenZeppelin-based implementation to deployment and on-chain verification. - Security-First Approach: Every contract undergoes internal review against OWASP Top 10 and common
EVM/SVMvulnerabilities before your audit. - Protocol Integration: Seamless integration with
ERC-20,ERC-721,ERC-1155, DeFi oracles, and cross-chain messaging layers.
Deliver a secure, auditable, and performant foundation. We ensure your core business logic is immutable, efficient, and ready for mainnet launch in as little as 2-4 weeks.

ARCHITECTURE
Core Components of Our Dispute Resolution System
Our modular system is engineered for provable fairness and automated enforcement, eliminating manual arbitration and ensuring your L2 state channels are secure by design.
01
On-Chain Adjudication Smart Contracts
Immutable, gas-optimized Solidity contracts deployed on the base layer (Ethereum, Arbitrum, etc.) that serve as the final arbiter. They cryptographically verify state proofs submitted during a dispute, ensuring resolution is trustless and tamper-proof.

Automated Proof Generation Engine
Client-side SDK that automatically generates Merkle proofs of channel state transitions. Integrates directly with your application to capture and package the cryptographic evidence needed for dispute resolution, removing developer complexity.

Secure State Commitment Protocol
Implements a robust challenge-response mechanism with configurable timeouts. This protocol forces honest behavior by allowing any participant to submit a fraud proof within a defined window, backed by slashed bonds.

TRANSPARENT & PREDICTABLE
Our Delivery Process: From Specification to Production Audit
A structured, four-phase methodology designed for technical leaders. We deliver production-ready, audited dispute resolution logic with clear timelines and deliverables at each stage.
01
1. Specification & Architecture
We begin with a collaborative deep-dive to define the dispute logic, threat models, and integration points for your state channel. Deliverables include a formal technical specification and system architecture diagrams.
Client Value: Eliminates ambiguity, aligns all stakeholders, and establishes a clear technical foundation before a single line of code is written.

2. Core Logic Development
Our engineers implement the on-chain adjudication contracts (Solidity/Vyper) and off-chain client libraries. We employ formal verification methods and OpenZeppelin security patterns from day one.
Client Value: Get battle-tested, gas-optimized code that is secure by design, reducing audit findings and long-term maintenance costs.

Frequently Asked Questions on State Channel Disputes
Get clear, expert answers to the most common questions about implementing and securing Layer 2 state channel dispute resolution for your application.
For a standard integration with a major L2 (Arbitrum, Optimism, Polygon zkEVM) or a custom state channel network, implementation typically takes 3-6 weeks. This includes design, smart contract development, integration testing, and a security audit. Complex multi-party or high-frequency use cases may extend this timeline. We provide a detailed project plan within the first week of engagement.
